Bohemia Interactive has announced a release date for Arma 3's next DLC pack, Marksmen. Coming April 8, the content pack will arrive alongside a major free update with new modes and weapon adjustements.

Speaking of weapons, the Marksmen DLC adds seven; five marksman rifles and two medium machine guns. It also introduces two new ghillie suits and two Remote Designators for marking targets at long range.

If you've ever fancied trying out Bohemia Interactive's open world military sim Arma 3, now's a great time to give it a go.

The game's available for free on Steam this weekend, and if you find you like being shot from a bush 500 metres away after running three miles to get to your mission objective, you can grab it for a 50% discount from now until Monday October 27.

Bohemia Interactive have posted a new blog that discusses their 2014/15 roadmap for Arma 3, which has completed its episodic rollout of the single player campaign. Now the studio looks to additional content.

They want to be clear that their strategy is "features are free, content is paid," and they don't want to split the multiplayer player-base. Their first DLC is to add "appropriate depth and breadth" to helicopters.

Bohemia are handing Arma 3 players the powers of a Game Master in the now released Zeus DLC, letting someone take charge of multiplayer sessions to "create, manipulate or expand" scenarios in real-time.

We can now "curate the experience" of other Arma 3 players on-the-fly with an "intuitive real-time editor," letting us tweak events or create all-new ones. The Zeus DLC is free.
